Removing clocks on B5 and B5.5

Post by Jarek »

Necessary Tools:

The main tools necessary to complete the job are the standard Torx (T20) and Phillips head screwdrivers.

People advise to disconnect the battery!!! (Have your Radio code handy???)
If you don't you risk fault codes on airbag!!! And possibly electric shock :D

You do not need to remove your steering wheel.
